SEPTEMBER 2024
MAJOR PRICE DROP
PRICE REDUCED by $20,000
This is to compensate for the following:
-Compromised Starboard Fuel Tank/NEEDS REPLACEMENT. Tank has hole/leak due to corrosion (common issue with 1980’s Taiwanese trawlers) and leak is low enough where the tank must remain empty. Please note boatyard does NOT have capability/labor to do fuel tank replacement. Tank is empty.
-Port Fuel Tank has corrosions/hole on top side of tank, on tank’s inspection port (a bolted down plate), this caused tank to fail pressure test. Engine however can still run for sea trial/mechanical survey.
-Teak Decks, forward and sides decks, were painted over with 2-part epoxy grey paint as a preventative attempt to seal the decks. Can be left as is, or removed and teak decks restored.
-Canvas/Isinglass enclosure needs replacement, still aboard for patterning. Stainless steel frame solid. Enclosure was added circa 2004.
-Navigation electronics need updating
All other items listed are in good, working order and condition. Engine can be run for mechanical survey + trial run. Low engine hours at 1,400.
